First MBA result

Woohoo….I’ve got A in both modules!!!
Innovation Management and Advanced Strategic Management…

Mind you, it’s ADVANCED Strategic M. ADVANCED eh. Not easy. Especially for beginner like me.
I didn’t expect to get A anyway. Just hoping I won’t fail.
Well, I officially resolved one of the most important item in my to-do list.

Recalling back the whole journey since I first sit in the class, then getting a group, then struggling whether to drop this module, and then the group meetings, writing email to Reliance chairman, the pitching with group members, the final group presentation and finally the tears-blood-vomit effort in writing the individual paper.
I think I do deserve an A.
This subject is one of the basic knowledge, that a business owner should acquire. Learning the powerfulness of building networks, having institutional constrains and etc.
Nintendo was my case study. I wrote how did Nintendo managed to take over the sales figure from a Resource Based view and Network perspectives.

Woo, hoo…its the same firm that I did in Innovation Management.
In fact, I didn’t have enough time and resources to write on Reliance, so I decided to write on Nintendo.
Writing the same firm for both modules, giving people the impression as if both will have the same content but it’s not. Totally not. Looking from two whole different aspects. Innovation Management is so much easier.
It took me one week to complete. Submitted the paper on time, although I spend sleepless nights for that.
Not to mention, those nights I’ve gotta go over his house to complete due to Streamyx down at my place.
Lucky he’s there to guide me, especially the troublesome references formatting. Too troublesome.

But not to be too proud of myself, this was just the FIRST semester of this 3 years courses. Many more modules to come. But with this result, at least I know I am working out the right thing.
Can’t wait to attend classes like Marketing, Managing People etc. I am just too weak at dealing with people.
